WeddingWire Review: 5 Stars
“My husband and I were so pleased by your recommendation of harpist, Gail Shanta. The beautiful sound of the harp was the perfect finishing touch for our intimate wedding celebration. Gail was an absolute delight to work with. She is a true professional and a gifted musician. When we were unsure of the musical selections, Gail helped us select the most romantic and meaningful songs to accompany our Jewish ceremony. Gail and Bialek’s are every bit deserving of a 5 star rating!”
